The staff were very helpful and engaging. Buses regular and on time. Guide commentaries informative and sometimes hilarious especially on the Thames cruise. The music played rather dull and needs to be more modern and contemporary. Great wxperience altogether.

This was my third time to London but my first time with my 15 year old so. The first day we took the route and only got off for lunch at the ritz… booked in advance., and a bit of shopping. We made a plan of what to see the following day which was great! Additionally, we bought tickets to see the Tower of London and took the option to have the one way boat ride back. We also did the London Eye on a beautiful day. If it is not, I wouldn't do it. Overall, a fabulous experience.

Open roof bus is great. But audio guide was interrupted and cut-off many, many times. So information was lost, what you saw driving by. Sometimes it was also not clear which house etc. the guide talked about, as we had passed it already or where not there yet. Or the description was too vague. The audio guide is the added benefit compared to driving around the city with the regular much cheaper bus lines. If the audio guide doesn't work properly, the tour is not worth its price.

The automated tour guide was informative and entertaining. We really enjoyed it. The number of stops made it very easy to see a lot of sites and walk to several others. Will definitely use again.

The buses were great to get around and see the sights. Some of the bus drivers were very nice, others were just drivers and the customer service could use improvements. Overall happy with service.
